CURRENT GALLERY EXHIBITIONS

"VACANCY"

"The Dead Motels of Las Vegas"

Illustrations by David Cooper | Frames by Korey R. Replogle

 

Clown

"World Famous Clown Motel" by David Cooper I Frame by Korey Replogle

Charleston Heights Arts Center

800 Brush St.

Hours: Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., closed holidays.

 

The themed motel has been an undeniable fixture peppered throughout the visual landscape of Las Vegas since its inception. The motel as the subject matter for this series is not just about pure nostalgia, but also a representation of the city’s flamboyant history and fickle nature.

 

This exhibition's illustrations are stylistically presented from the naive gaze of Cooper’s formative years growing up near The Strip. Executed with ink and mixed media on lush colored paper, the drawings evoke an innocent and idealized amalgam of the motels in their prime. In all, they celebrate a bygone era of gimmicky concept design, brilliant signage and antiquated amenities that boast about color television and air conditioning.

 

The frames constructed by Replogle also stem from childhood memories. His father, along with other business owners he knew growing up, all had framed pictures of their respective properties hanging in their offices. As a tribute, it evokes the sentiment that each drawing could very well be an artifact that hung in the lobby of the motel it portrays. Utilizing a wide range of distinctive hardwood materials and building techniques, the frame’s purpose is to be a discernible companion to the individual illustration it encapsulates.

 

So, with that said, please do not hesitate to let the front desk know if you need extra towels or a wake-up call arranged. Enjoy your stay!

 

*David Cooper *is a Las Vegas-based illustrator and painter who creates ink-motivated artworks. *Korey R. Replogle *is a Las Vegas-based independent woodworker.

"People of Color" is a survey of African diasporic artists throughout Nevada. Ranging in medium, content and intent, the art of Black Nevadans is definitive of a greater creative legacy transcending trends and moments for more extended ancestral dialogues. "People of Color" is curated with the intention of further iterating the reality that Black life is American life. The African diaspora provides the primary wellspring of creativity and identity that we use to describe the constructive qualities of America. This selected group of artists drawn from multiple disciplines is presented as an expansive conversation about what being a Black artist in our region looks like. 

 

Featured artists: E.A. Adams, Iyana Esters, Ashanti McGee, Petit Monstre, Naes Pierott, Vogue Robinson, Dana Satterwhite, Joseph Watson and Montaysia Yuneek.
